Another night, another peppering of points. The new area will probably get more layers of ink eventually. Need to see the values around it first for context before locking in the true volume of the area. #lonelyuniverse #inkdrawing #stippling #sketchbook #darkart

A few dots later...✒️ Found a little more time during this busy week to drop some ink to this sketchbook page. Many more days and dots ahead! #darkart #sketchbook #stippling #lonelyuniverse #inkdrawing

Dropped in containing lines and the starts of some volume in some areas in the latest #LonelyUniverse composition. Lots more dots to go! #inkdrawing #darkart #robots #sketchbook

The ink starts to flow on another entry in my #LonelyUniverse series. It's always rough when first turning that softly rendered pencil into ink. Every artist has an ugly phase somewhere in their process. This is mine. Trust the process, as they say... #scififantasy #micron #inkdrawing #sketchbook

Gradually picking away at these thumbnails when I get a few moments each day. Exploring the idea of faerie houses that have reached and embraced the industrial age. #fantasy #thumbnail #pencilart #sketchbook #fairyhouse

Slowly letting this page take form

chipping away at these in little pockets of free time seeing what emerges #sketchbook #pencilart #thumbnails #fantasy #darkart

Calling this #sketchbook page of #LonelyUniverse thumbnails complete. Capped off with a comp of Carmuke & Tobee sitting atop the preserved remains of Titan Harvester hidden amongst the upper foliage of a mammoth succulent forest. #pencilart #scifi #fantasy

Was wrapping up this page of #LonelyUniverse thumbnails when the urge to start a page for a totally different series struck. Something I've poked at before - Faerie houses that have reached the Industrial Age, embedded into fallen logs and stumps. #fairyhouse #sketchbook #scififantasy #thumbnail

Finished up this thumbnail in the morning. "The sublings had begun to divest themselves from the Collective of The Matron, but it was too late. The Great Deactivation froze them all in their tracks." #pencilsketch #robots #sketchbook #scififantasy #LonelyUniverse

Starting up a new idea on this #LonelyUniverse thumbnail page quick before bed. "The sublings had begun to divest themselves from the Collective of The Matron, but it was too late. The Great Deactivation froze them all in their tracks... #pencilsketch #robots #sketchbook #scififantasy

Another rendered #LonelyUniverse thumbnail down. This one sees our heroes discover a robotic End Times preacher frozen mid-sermon by, well, the End Times. #sketchbook #scififantasy #pencilsketch #robots

Starting a new page of #LonelyUniverse thumbnails, vertical this time. C&T find a frozen moment where a clan of robots fleeing the Great Deactivation were entangled by some particularly aggressive local flora with a taste for foreign metals. #pencilart #illustration #sketchbook #scififantasy

Took these #LonelyUniverse thumbnails as far as is useful. Explored Carmuke and Tobee encountering the frozen remains of the Galactic Robot Empire - both macro and micro. Might take these to full comps eventually. But for now: turning the page. #sketchbook #scififantasy #pencildrawing #darkart

Graves. Continuing my series with trees🌿

Still wrestling with this scene in Photoshop. Since I’m mostly refining and tweaking details, progress feels invisible—so I’ll torture myself (and these poor creatures) a bit longer before returning to my poem illustrations. #digitalart #WIP #darkart #process

Back on my bullshit

Back on my bullshit

Finally got power back, 5 days after the storm 🫠

Building up volumes, balancing compositional values, makin' dots

A cosmic horse for the discourse of course of course... In any case day 1. So much for a light drawing day to help hand recover from yesterday 11x17 pen and paper #wip #surreal #macabre #PenAndPaper #TraditionalArt #DarkSurrealism #DarkArt #Art #InkSky #B&Wart

About to drop a sky into this old piece from about a year ago. It always felt kind of unfinished...

Probably should introduce myself with an updated 📌 Post for #PortfolioDay! I'm Justin. I'm an Art Director / Manager in the VR games industry, but on socials I post my personal ink works from my sketchbook. Here's a 🧵 of some favorites... #ink #art #darkart #fantasy #scifi #worldbuilding #penandink

Still more...
